A Swiss Amish community in Indiana has been the focus of ongoing studies led by Dr. Douglas Vaughan, chair of the Department of Medicine at Northwestern. Many members of this Amish community have a gene mutation that appears to protect against biological aging in a variety of ways.  A new experimental drug that effectively lowers the level of the protein associated with this mutation is now being tested as a treatment for people with COVID-19, in a phase 2 clinical trial at Northwestern.

How Amish People Informed a COVID-19 Clinical Trial with Douglas Vaughan, MD

A rare blood disorder related to people missing a protein, called PAI-1, was identified in a small Amish community. Douglas Vaughan, MD, studies the community and found that those without the protein seem to live longer and healthier lives.

Finding the Internal Fountain of Youth in Amish Country with Douglas Vaughan, MD

Jason Hartman talks with Dr. Douglas Vaughan about the biological process behind aging, senescence, and how people can understand it and age healthily. They also discuss a genetic mutation that was been discovered that could potentially help the process of aging. Key Takeaways: 1:30 - A background on the molecular fingerprint of aging and properly understanding the term, senescence 5:11 - The various ways aging can be measured, especially understanding telomeres 7:03 - A genetic mutation that is seemingly slowing the aging process and the study of an Amish community that seems to have this mutation 12:02 - What makes it a mutation rather than just genes?
